California Anglican Bishop's assistant to take parish job

The Rev. Bill Gandenberger, assistant to Bishop John-David Schofield of the breakaway Anglican Diocese of San Joaquin, is leaving his post to become rector of Christ Church Vero Beach in Vero Beach, Fla.

Gandenberger’s final day in Fresno is Sunday.

He served as Schofield’s assistant for eight years, including in 2007 when Schofield led a secession movement out of the U.S. Episcopal Church over differences such as the ordination of a [non-celibate] gay bishop and the supreme authority of Scripture.

The breakaway diocese is now part of the Anglican Church in North America.

    According to this article: http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2009/feb/02/minister-christ-church-vero-beach-suspended/ Christ Church is the Anglican parish that came out of Trinity Episcopal.
